somebody said the other day about the election that neither party got a mandate coming out of the election. what they got was a work order to get the job done. i think that's what john boehner's constituents are telling him. that's what all the other congressional leaders are hearing from their people. now, as a practical matter, that's very difficult because it's a very diverse country. you've got incredibly diverse and strongly held views on both sides. i do think the fact that voters have just spoken in an election and have sent a message that they want things to get done, that's a powerful propellant in washington to get things done, which is why we've seen behind me at the white house a parade of people going in to meet with secretary geithner, with the white house chief of staff, with the president. we have more coming tomorrow. lloyd blankfein of goldman sachs. this is an effort by everybody to try to marshall whatever influence these people have with lawmakers to try to get something done. >> okay, john. thank you. john harwood live from the white house. >> we look forward to seein
